Instructions
-
Prepare the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the light mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, both Dijon mustards, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, and Tabasco sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well blended, creating a creamy and flavorful topping.
-
Prepare the Halibut: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the halibut fillets on a broiling pan, ensuring they are spaced adequately. Drizzle with additional lemon juice, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring that each fillet is evenly coated.
-
Bake the Fish: Place the broiling pan in the preheated oven. Bake the halibut for approximately 12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish tests done and flakes easily with a fork. The fillets should be opaque in color and firm to the touch.
-
Broil for a Crispy Topping: Once the fish has finished baking, carefully remove it from the oven and adjust your oven settings to broil. Position a rack close to the broiling element, and spread a generous amount of the garlic mayonnaise-Parmesan topping over the top of each halibut fillet.
-
Final Broiling: Broil the halibut for about 1 minute, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. The topping should turn a beautiful golden brown, indicating it’s ready to serve.
-
Serve: Once broiled to perfection, remove the halibut from the oven, and let it rest for a moment. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or an extra squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
Enjoy this delectable Halibut with Garlic Mayonnaise-Parmesan Topping as a satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends while keeping your preparation time short and enjoyable!
